Adeje Town Hall has reinforced its commitment to increasing access to affordable housing, announcing new public developments and renewed calls for the municipality to be officially declared a “stressed residential area.”
Summary
Adeje is stepping up efforts to tackle housing challenges caused by strong economic growth and rising demand. The council is progressing multiple protected housing projects while urging regional authorities to unlock additional regulatory tools to stabilise prices.
What’s happening
The councillor for Social Welfare and Housing, Raquel Rodríguez Alonso, highlighted that Adeje continues to face significant pressure on housing due to high economic activity and a large number of workers commuting into the area daily. oai_citation:0‡18-Adeje housing.docx.pdf
To address this, the Town Hall has:
- Reapplied for Adeje to be classified as a “stressed residential area”, first requested in April 2024 and reiterated in March 2025
- Relaunched a stalled project for 51 protected homes after no bids were received earlier this year
- Begun development planning on two municipal plots, expected to deliver around 140 new homes
These projects are currently in the drafting phase, with tender processes expected to follow.
Why it matters
Declaring Adeje a stressed residential area would allow authorities to introduce measures aimed at:
- Regulating housing prices
- Increasing affordability
- Supporting residents struggling to access housing
The council says this is especially important for local workers and lower-income residents who are increasingly priced out of the market.
The bigger picture
Adeje’s popularity as both a tourist destination and employment hub continues to drive demand for housing. The Town Hall’s strategy focuses on gradually increasing the supply of public and protected housing to balance this demand over time.
Key takeaway
Adeje is not waiting for regional action — it’s actively pushing forward with new housing projects while continuing to lobby for broader regulatory support.
